Benefits of L-Cortex Injection
In Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disorder that slowly damages memory, thinking, and behavior. L-Cortex Injection helps support brain cell function and repair, improving communication between nerve cells. This may help slow down memory decline and improve overall mental function, allowing patients to better manage daily activities.
In Stroke
Stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, leading to damage in brain tissue and problems with movement, speech, or memory. L-Cortex Injection aids in recovery by protecting nerve cells and promoting brain repair. This helps restore lost functions and supports rehabilitation after a stroke.
